摘要:
The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for determining a status of a client certificate from a plurality of responses for an Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) request. An intermediary device between a plurality of clients and one or more servers identifies a plurality of OCSP responders for determining a status of a client certificate responsive to receiving the client certificate from a client during a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) handshake. Each of the plurality of OCSP responders may transmit a request for the status of the client certificate to a uniform resource locator corresponding to each OCSP responder. The intermediary device may determine a single status for the client certificate from a plurality of statuses of the client certificate received via responses from each uniform resource locator.

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for managing SSL session persistence and reuse in a multi-core system. A first core may indicate that an SSL session established by the first core is non-resumable. Responsive to the indication, the core may set an indicator at a location in memory accessible by each core of the multi-core system, the indicator indicating that the SSL session is non-resumable. A second core of the multi-core system may receive a request to reuse the SSL session. The request may include a session identifier of the SSL session. In addition, the session identifier may identify the first core as an establisher of the SSL session. The second core can identify from encoding of the session identifier whether the second core is not the establisher of the SSL session. Responsive to the identification, the second core may determine whether to resume the SSL session.

A method for using a network appliance to efficiently buffer and encrypt data for transmission includes: receiving, by an appliance via a connection, two or more SSL records comprising encrypted messages; decrypting the two or more messages; buffering, by the appliance, the two ore more decrypted messages; determining, by the appliance, that a transmittal condition has been satisfied; encrypting, by the appliance in response to the determination, the first decrypted message and a portion of the second decrypted message to produce a third SSL record; and transmitting, by the appliance via a second connection, the third record. Corresponding systems are also described.

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for distributed operation of a plurality of cryptographic cards in a multi-core system. In various embodiments, a plurality of cryptographic cards providing encryption/decryption resources are assigned to a plurality of packet processing engines in operation on a multi-core processing system. One or more cryptographic cards can be configured with a plurality of hardware or software queues. The plurality of queues can be assigned to plural packet processing engines so that the plural packet processing engines share cryptographic services of a cryptographic card having multiple queues. In some embodiments, all cryptographic cards are configured with multiple queues which are assigned to the plurality of packet processing engines configured for encryption operation.

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for batching OCSP requests and caching corresponding responses. An intermediary between a plurality of clients and one or more servers receives a first client certificate during a first SSL handshake with a first client and a second client certificate during a second SSL handshake with a second client. The intermediary may identify that the statuses of the client certificates are not in a cache of the intermediary. An OCSP responder of the intermediary may transmit a single request to an OCSP server to determine the statuses. The intermediary may determine, from a single response received from the OCSP server, whether to establish SSL connections with the clients based on the statuses. The intermediary may store the statuses to the cache for determining whether to establish a SSL connection in response to receiving a client certificate from the first client.

A method for enabling efficient SSL handshakes through pre-computing of handshake messages, the method includes: receiving, by an appliance, a server certificate identifying a server; generating, by the appliance, at least one of: (i) an SSL server certificate message comprising the received server certificate, (ii) an SSL client certificate request message, and (iii) an SSL hello done message; storing, by the appliance, the generated messages; receiving, by the appliance from a client, an SSL client hello message identifying the server; and transmitting, by the appliance to the client, an SSL server hello message and at least one of the stored messages. Corresponding systems are also described.

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for maintaining Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) for client access in a multi-core system. A first core may generate a secondary CRL corresponding to a master CRL maintained by the first core. The CRLs may identify certificates to revoke. The first core can store the secondary CRL to a memory element accessible by the cores. A second core may receive a request to validate a certificate. The second core can provisionally determine, via access to the secondary CRL, whether the certificate is revoked. The second core may also determine not to revoke the certificate. Responsive to the determination, the second core may request the first core to validate the certificate. The first core can determine whether to revoke the certificate based on the master CRL. The first core may send a message to the second core based on the determination.

A method for buffering SSL handshake messages prior to computing a message digest for the SSL handshake includes: conducting, by an appliance with a client, an SSL handshake, the SSL handshake comprising a plurality of SSL handshake messages; storing, by the appliance, the plurality of SSL handshake messages; providing, by the appliance to a message digest computing device in response to receiving a client finish message corresponding to the SSL handshake, the plurality of SSL handshake messages; receiving, by the appliance from the message digest computing device, a message digest corresponding to the provided messages; determining by the appliance, the message digest matches a message digest included in the SSL client finish message; and completing, by the appliance with the client, the SSL handshake. Corresponding systems are also described.
